Description
Summary:the purpose of this investigation is to assess -from the perspective of knowledge management- the local development strategy of the Municipality of Florencia, and to suggest actions to train their policy makers on this issue. To achieve this objective, in addition to an analysis of the updated literature, document analysis and discussion groups were used as empirical methods for collecting the information. The population to be studied is composed of all the members of the Council of the Municipal Administration (19 people) and the government scientific advisory team (15). We conclude that, in the local development strategy of the municipality of Florencia, knowledge management and training are identified, hence there is no planning on networks, information and knowledge flows which is required to solve the problems that hinder the quality of life of the population. Likewise, a set of actions that contribute to the training of policy makers in the use of knowledge management for development is suggested. To conclude, the present study suggests that knowledge management and local development form a dialectical realtionship required for achieving territorial self-management, within the framework of national and international contexts.
